Actually, I was responding to Dennis' incorrect assumptions about FreeBSD's VM system, as exhibited by his code (which reflects the way he *thinks* the VM system works), and to the bugginess of his code. BTW, I was wrong - his code doesn't smash the malloc() arena, because the termination condition in the if loop guarantees it never makes more than one iteration.
